Two time Olympic Gold Medallist Jerry Tuwai says he has come through the hardest struggles to the triumph of a lifetime in the pinnace of sports.

He made these comments as the Chief Guest at the 24th Attorney-General's conference dinner yesterday.

The superstar adds he fell in love with rugby and the value of the sport and it changed his life.

Tuwai says ever since he made his debut for Fiji in 2014, his friends were motivated to change the way they see life.

He further says he has seen and experienced what a good sports program can do for a person.

Tuwai also spoke about the impact sports and rugby has had on him and his community.

He has paid tribute to the Fiji Rugby Union for having a good development program.
